Thursday – Anything Possible – Twiggy and Tempeste at Home

~ John W. Howell

”

“You know I haven’t jumped off the couch in months.”

“This is not the time to start again.”

“It does look pretty far down there.”

“A dislocated hip just waiting to happen.”

“Oh, come on. There is a bed on the floor.”

“With one inch of padding.”

“Why are you always a killjoy?”

“Five years older than you is why.”

“I guess experience does count for something.”

“Yeah, try a $5000 visit to the emergency vet.”

“Oooh. I don’t like that place at all.”

“So, get off the back of the couch.”

“I think you are right.”

“So why don’t you get off?”

“Did you ever hear of an irresistible impulse?”

“Oh, brother. Now I’ve heard everything.”

“What do you say we go out and chase a ball?”

“At last, you have come to your senses.”

“If only I could break away from this couch back.”

“Please stop.”

  1. Jumping off things can be dangerous, kids. Just ask Lai. She ran at break neck speed and jumped over a short wall last week, fell on her back and couldn’t walk. A rushed trip to the vet resulted in x-rays, a shot and pills. She is OK now but can’t get up on the couch or bed without help. She is lucky nothing broke. It almost gave us a heart attack. Has it slowed her down? No!

    1. OMG, Darlene. That must have been a scare and a half. We try to keep these two from jumping off anything. There are steps, ramps, and a whole set of gates. I’m so glad Lia is doing better. 😊

  8. When it comes to irresistible impulses, even personal knowledge of the consequences doesn’t always keep things in check. Advice from others? Forget about it — there’s that challenge waiting!

  9. I trust Tempeste did not give in to her irresistible impulse. I like that Twiggy is just sitting there with her Buddha- like wisdom!

    These ladies make my day! Belly rubs to both.

  15. I have not jumped off my couch in months…and have been much better for it. The couch and I have an understanding…I will come and go, but always sit and arise in a controlled manner. Easy does it, girls!

  16. Vet visits are so expensive, and I imagine ER visits are worse. Tempeste, please listen to your big sis. She’s trying to save you a world of pain … and your folks a depleted bank account!

        1. It is. We don’t even make excuses for it. People come over, and there is no mad dash to pick up toys or take off the sofa covers. Someone once said,”Oh, you have dogs. I’m allergic.” I said, “Have a good evening.” Thank you, Yvette.

  20. Why is trouble often so appealing? Thank goodness Tempeste has her big sister to keep her safe. Sending them belly rubs. Thanks for the smiles, John. (And if you’re in the path of the coming storm, stay safe.)
